guys i tested Kick Ass 720p MCHD and NO problem with the audio or video, all plays fantastic, jppp u reminde me to download batman under the red hood when i tested i tell u if have the cinavia problem or not

Here's how to know if you have the Cinavia problem, or the recent MKV muxxing issue.

If your file gives you grief right away....ie. no sound, or slow motion with tsMuxer right off the bat, the issue is with the muxxing, or writing of the file, and how the various engines deal with it. Generally a black screen, no sound, or errors left right and center.

Cinavia only appears after playing the file for 20 minutes, and there is the obvious Cinavia warning on-screen.

Again, the ONLY file/movie that I have confirmed is Cinavia protected, is THE LOSERS. All other recent MKV problems have been a writing or muxxing issue.

I thought, for a while, that REPO MEN and THE RUNAWAYS suffered from Cinavia, but it was in fact the way they were put together.

You don;t need to convert.. you can just install the latest mplayer that was linked here. Downside as I mentioned, it some avi files will not play at all. I still haven;t figured out why they won't play, either. I can look at the working and non working one, and it looks like they were originally encoded the same way.

Yes, and yes. I have avi files I know worked before, and converting them to mkv format made them playable again. But I really don't want to have to search through a bazillion avi files to see what works and what doesn't, and then sit and re encode for hours on end.

Right now i'm just doing it on a case by case basis, hoping that the issue gets resolved.
